Chapter 1272 Hereditary Disease
“All right.” Elliot held Cecilia tightly, no longer speaking.
Cecilia immediately dialed Nathaniel’s number, and Nathaniel quickly answered the phone, asking, “What’s up? Missing me already?”
He still didn’t know what had happened.
Cecilia was uninterested in entertaining his teasing, and her voice carried an undertone of urgency and a hint of tearfulness when she said, “Eli has fallen ill. You need to get to the hospital quickly.”
After hearing what was said, Nathaniel became serious. “Don’t worry. I’ll be there right away.”
After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Zachary, instructing him to find the best pediatrician in Tudela, along with experts in hereditary diseases and leukemia.
Subsequently, he didn’t call for a driver. Instead, he drove himself to the hospital.
In the hospital corridor, Cecilia sat dazedly on a chair, her gaze somewhat vacant as she stared at the fresh blood on her hands.
Even though she had experienced such situations numerous times before, each instance still terrified her to her core.
She often found herself thinking that if anything were to truly happen to Elliot, she probably wouldn’t be able to go on living.
Right then, Charlotte comforted her, “Boss, everything will be okay. Don’t worry.”
Lucille also said, “Yeah. Everything will definitely be all right.”
“Absolutely! We got him to the hospital immediately. Don’t worry,” said Madeline
Seeing the three of them worried about her, Cecilia brushed away her tears and forced a calm demeanor. “All right.”
“Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay,” she muttered to herself.
The three of them grew increasingly worried about Cecilia.
Fortunately, at this moment, Nathaniel and Zachary arrived with a team of medical staff.
Without uttering another word, Zachary swapped his clothes with the doctor’s and headed toward the operating room.
Nathaniel found himself hv Cecilia’s side hending down to embrace her

Seeing that Nathaniel had also arrived, Lucille and her two companions didn’t want to play the role of the third wheel. Thus, they decided to wait outside the hospital.
In the corridor, only Nathaniel and Cecilia were present.
He gently patted Cecilia’s shoulder and said, “I’m here now. I promise nothing will happen to Eli.”
A lump formed in Cecilia’s throat when she heard his deep and commanding voice. Her mouth was then filled with a bitter taste, and before she knew it, tears were once again streaming down her face.
She was at a loss for words. It took her a while before she could muster a simple hum in
response.
Nathaniel held her even tighter.
Tears streamed relentlessly from Cecilia’s eyes when she said, “Nathaniel, I’m so scared.”
“Yes, I know. Don’t be afraid while I’m here,” Nathaniel gently reassured her in a soft voice,
“Okay.” Cecilia nodded, yet she couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.
She glanced back at the doors to the operating room before lifting her arms to embrace Nathaniel.
From Nathaniel’s presence, she felt a slight sense of relief.
As each moment ticked by, at last, the doors to the operation room were pushed open.
Cecilia was helped up by Nathaniel, and her legs felt weak. She looked into Zachary’s eyes, full of pleading. “Is Eli okay?”
Zachary gave a nod. “Yes. We’ve managed to save him.”
The weight in Cecilia’s heart finally settled. “Thank you! Thank you!”
“Don’t worry about it. Just be sure to take care of the child’s emotions in the future and try not to let him experience too much emotional upheaval. Also, once surgery is an option, try to get it done as soon as possible,” Zachary said.
“All right. Thank you.”
Cecilla was genuinely grateful to him.
Zachary felt that all of this was something he needed to do. He owed Cecilia so much that it would be difficult to repay in a lifetime.

“Go check on the child,” Zachary said.
“Okay.”
Finished
Cecilia’s legs had given out on her. With Nathaniel’s support, she was led into the ward to check on their son, Elliot.
Elliot had already woken up, his face exceptionally pale. Seeing Cecilia and Nathaniel arriving together, he couldn’t help but feel comforted. “Mommy, you’re not fooling me, are you? You’re really going to be with Daddy again, right?”
